Weather Underground midday recap for Saturday, November 14, 2009. After an active several days of weather along the eastern seaboard due to the remnants of Tropical Storm Ida, Saturday was relatively inactive.

The only significant precipitation in the country was from the low pressure system that remained off the coast and provided moderate rain through New England.

The Southeast remained dry as a high pressure system began to build in the area.

A long front from the Plains through the Upper Midwest did not carry much moisture with it, thus only scattered precipitation was noted in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

A low pressure system began to develop over the Central Rockies, but only instigated some high elevation snow into the afternoon. This activity was expected to increase greatly into the evening and into Sunday so residents should be prepared.

A Pacific cold front continued its trek through the Intermountain West and Great Basin, but only provided scattered areas of rain and high elevation snow in the area.

The Northeast rose into the 40s and 50s, while the Southeast saw temperatures in the 60s and 70s. The Southern Plains rose into the 70s and 80s, while the northern Plains saw temperatures in the 40s and 50s. The Intermountain West rose into the 30s and 40s, while the Northwest saw temperatures in the 60s and 70s.

Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Saturday have ranged from a morning low of -2 degrees at Meeker, Colo. to a midday high of 90 degrees at Laredo, Texas.
